Well, now I’m unsure what to do. Another blogger I read frequently (BookWraiths) gave this movie a mostly dismal and disappointed review. Based on his comments, I was going to skip it. Perhaps I’ll venture out next week and see it during the evening (like a Monday or Tuesday evening). I’m also loathe to visit my favorite local theater because it was bought by AMC last month and I dislike the AMC franchise. *grumbling to myself in a corner*

Yes, I believe it’s worth watching on it’s own merits.
Is it great literature? No. I know where to find great literature. This is pop corn for the brain.
But … it’s much more. There is a subplot which will resonant with every parent, which pulls no punches.
